Lighter – A Lightweight Child Theme
I came across Martín Fernández‘s website a while back, and noticed it was using a modified version of the Lightweight theme. Check out what he did with it below.
As you can see, it’s still a light theme with a slightly different color scheme. It really works great to showcase his graphics work.
I got in touch with Martín and he agreed to let me release his modified WordPress theme here on Theme Lab. I converted it to a child theme, so the only things in the file are a stylesheet and a screeenshot. Download it here. Check out the demo here.
Make sure you know how to install a child theme, so you’ll need the Lightweight theme uploaded as well as the Ligher child theme. Activate “Lighter” in your WordPress admin.
Looking for web hosting?
Question: What's the best type of web hosting?
Answer: The kind you don't have to worry about.
And that's precisely why I recommend HostGator. I've been using them myself for years and they've been nothing short of superb.
Fast load times, great support, WordPress-friendly, and good prices. Not much more you can ask for.
New customers can get 25% off of any HostGator web hosting package with the coupon: themelab25percentoff
Note: I am a HostGator affiliate, but that doesn't make my recommendation any less genuine.
If you just tried to download it, and found a broken link, try again now. I forgot to upload the file.
the design looks very simple
@Ahmed: Indeed it is! I think the simple design really helps the content stand out though.
